Tuesday night was supposed to, among other things, feature Hillary's work for 9/11 survivors and families. There are a few problems with that. One of those problems is that her husband was recorded on tape refusing to take out Bin Laden.
Ten hours before the first plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, Bill Clinton allegedly told a group of businessmen in Australia that he had a chance to kill Osama Bin Laden, but passed because it would have meant killing hundreds of innocent civilians.
That’s according to never-before-released audio of remarks made public by Australian media on Wednesday.
At the event in Melbourne, which took place not long after the end of Clinton’s term in office, the former president was asked about international terrorism.
“And I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden — he’s very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him — and I nearly got him once,” Clinton is heard saying. “I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I didn’t do it.”
The blood of thousands of Americans is on Bill Clinton's hands. And it's obscene for Hillary Clinton to exploit 9/11 families when her husband helped make it happen.
